They are simply ignored now. This allows for a more correct behavior when
they are placed before translatable constructs on the same line.

Previously, the latter were wrongly ignored because the former were
preserved when converting template code to the internal Python-syntax
form later fed to xgettext but Python has no ``/* ... */``-style
comments.

Also, special comments directed to translators are now only taken in
account when they are located at the end of a line. e.g.::

  {# Translators: ignored #}{% trans "Literal A" %}{# Translators: valid, associated with "Literal B" below #}
  {% trans "Literal B" %}

Behavior of ``{% comment %}...{% endcomment %}``tags remains unchanged.

Thanks juneih at redpill-linpro dot com for the report and Claude for
his work on the issue.
